Learning is a process not an event
Learning is a process not a single event. That’s what we say regularly at Train IT Medical. Adult learners really need a multi-faceted, ongoing approach to continual learning.

Here are just a few of the changes we’re thinking of… Continue reading
Reflections on 2016
As I sit at my desk and the end of 2016 draws near, I like to look back and consider what we’ve achieved.

My team and I completed 174 practice visits, took 67 flights and presented at 79 events and conferences to over 2154… Continue reading
The role of the PHNs
This week I had the pleasure of spending 2 days with the Digital Health Primary Health Network (PHN) teams from all 31 PHNs across Australia.
One of many things that were shared were learnings from PHNs involved with Australia’s recent My Health Record trial sites (major report is being written right now) and in particular lessons relating to building the involvement of all sectors – pharmacy, aged care, specialists, allied health providers, hospitals and aboriginal medical services.
